Foodie Friday: What the stars ate this week (Sep 21-28)

All the photos that made us hungry this week

Among all the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations this week, Joanne Peh (redrawn as Chang'e) brought mooncakes for the cast of Heart to Heart. Hilarious BFFs Sharon Au and Michelle Chong shared a Mid-Autumn meal, but not without "complaining" about one another. Meanwhile, Rebecca Lim rang in her 32nd birthday; Desmond Tan had fro-yo for breakfast; and Zhang Zhen Huan, Edmund Chen, and the Chen siblings caught up over coffee in Sydney.

Jeanette Aw

What she ate: After feasting in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain, Jeanette nabbed a lemon dessert in between meetings in Paris, France

Yummy factor: Jeanette commented that the dessert in the box was a lemon... Yeah, we’re in disbelief too. Could it be some kind of mutant, considering the size?

Rebecca Lim27 Sep 2018

Rebecca Lim

What she ate: A cake to celebrate her 32nd birthday

Yummy factor: A simple yet charming cake for Rebecca. Her T-shirt, printed with “Forever Young,” is fitting for the occasion, although she said it was “totally unintentional.”

Joanne Peh

What she ate: Joanne brought mooncakes for the cast of Heart to Heart during filming, much to their delight.

Yummy factor: Ooh, we can already taste the moist denseness of these mooncakes from generous of Moon Fairy Joanne. (Kudos to Denise Camillia Tan for her costume drawing skills, hehe.)

Ian Fang

What he ate: Steamboat at City Hotpot

Yummy factor: Get a load of that lobster. The difference between us plebians and the celebs: They order all the expensive steamboat stuff.

Michelle Chong and Sharon Au

What they ate: A besties’ Mid-Autumn Festival meal

Yummy factor: Michelle captioned, “Spent the actual Mid-Autumn Festival with this one. Clearly she keeps trying to kiss me because I’m effortlessly gorgeous. I think she’s spent too much time in France…” Meanwhile, bestie Sharon threw some shade as well, writing, “Dear Moon, please, grant my wish, that my BFF will soon find her Prince Charming, so that I don’t have to worry about her spending Mid-Autumn alone, or chauffeur her anymore, or finish her food whenever she over orders…” Well, at least the food looked good.

Sonia Chew

What she ate: Well, she WANTED to eat Snyder's of Hanover pretzel pieces, but it got stuck in the vending machine

Yummy factor: Ugh, this is one of the most woeful situations. We totally feel your pain, Sonia. Just don't try to shake the vending machine to un-stuck it. People have actually died from doing that!

Edmund Chen27 Sep 2018

Edmund Chen

What he ate: A meal at The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney with Zhang Zhen Huan and his girlfriend Sally Pan, Chen Yi Xin and Chen Yixin

Yummy factor: Looks like the Chen family bumped into Zhen Huan in the land down under, so of course a catch up over coffee was in order. They're all bundled up and ready to savour their steaming cups of jo.

Zoe Tay27 Sep 2018

Zoe Tay

What she ate: Her son's birthday cake from Euphorique bakery

Yummy factor: Maybe this is the cake that Zoe secretly wanted for herself as a kid. She definitely looks delighted with it - and who wouldn't be? It's a four-tiered cake with cute animals, after all.

Henry Golding and Liv Lo27 Sep 2018

Henry Golding and Liv Lo

What they ate: Bubble tea and Kung Fu noodles at Chun Shui Tang in Taichung, Taiwan

Yummy factor: No trip to Taiwan is complete without grabbing the OG bubble milk tea. The secret to their Kung Fu noodles is the chilli sauce. Get the mocha next time too, guys!

Desmond Tan27 Sep 2018

Desmond Tan

What he ate: llaollao frozen yoghurt for breakfast before his flight

Yummy factor: This might give us a stomach ache first thing in the morning, but Desmond didn't look worried one bit as he grinned at the chocolate-drenched treat.

What she ate: Salted egg cookies that she baked with Fish Leong for Mid-Autumn Festival

Yummy factor: FYI, the recipe for these golden goodies are on Yvonne's Instagram. Warning: just skimming through it might make you hungry! Since it calls for four salted egg yolks, the addictive salted egg flavour must really come through.

What she ate: A buffet spread for an event at St. John's Home for the elderly

Yummy factor: If you are viewing this on an empty stomach, we apologise. Blame your sudden craving for crispy spring roll on Ya Hui.

Zhang Yaodong27 Sep 2018

Zhang Yaodong

What he ate: Fries with chopsticks

Yummy factor: First Lee Teng, now Yaodong. What is wrong with these guys?! Don’t they know the best part is licking the salt/seasoning off your fingers?

What she ate: Butter toast

Yummy factor: One of life’s consistent pleasures is sinking our teeth into crunchy toast with a thick slab of butter.

Shane Pow27 Sep 2018

Shane Pow

What he ate: A low-carbs, fancily-plated meal with what looks like fish and lots of garnish

Yummy factor: In preparation for all the feasting for his birthday, Shane wrote that he is trying to lose some weight – hence the low-carb meal. It actually looks pretty appetising, even to us carb-lovin' folks.

Jazreel Low27 Sep 2018

Jazreel Low

What she ate: Nasi tumpeng at Club Med, Bintan

Yummy factor: This “rice mountain” is mouthwatering with all the assorted Indonesian dishes (looking at you, teri kacang -- fried anchovies with peanuts).

Timothee Yap27 Sep 2018

Timothee Yap

What he ate: His own packed lunch in a re-usable container for portion control and less waste of disposable plastic

Yummy factor: While we admire those who pack their own lunches every day, when we try to do it, we last about a week before tossing in the towel and queuing up for our favourite hawker foods instead. Oops.

Florence Tan27 Sep 2018

Florence Tan

What she ate: Hong Kong egg waffles

Yummy factor: We hope these struck the perfect balance of crispy and puffy -- and that they were made fresh on the spot. It's so comforting to hold a paper bag of warm, heavenly-smelling waffles.

Chen Ning27 Sep 2018

Chen Ning

What she ate: Red wine and a meal that she totally cleaned out

Michelle Wong27 Sep 2018

Michelle Wong

What she drank: A huge cup of bubble milk tea

Yummy factor: Looks like someone is in her happy place - although we wonder if anyone can finish a portion this big without feeling jelak.
